Now Enrolling for November Opening – Immediate Openings and No Waitlist for Area Families 

MANCHESTER, NH… Behavioral Concepts (BCI), a provider of LEARN Behavioral, is expanding access to compassionate, evidence-based autism services in southern New Hampshire with the opening of its new Manchester Learning Center at 340 Granite Street, Suite 101, Manchester, NH 03102. 

Building on the success of its Nashua Learning Center, which opened in 2024, the new Manchester location is now accepting clients with immediate openings and no waitlist. The expansion reflects BCI’s ongoing commitment to helping more children with autism and their families access individualized, high-quality care close to home. 

The Manchester Learning Center provides center-based applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for children ages 2 to 6 with autism, along with ABA therapy in home and community settings. Serving families throughout the greater Manchester and Nashua areas, BCI accepts most major insurance plans, including Optum/UnitedHealthcare, as well as Medicaid, helping make essential services accessible to more families. 

For more than 20 years, BCI has supported children with autism and their families through contemporary, evidence-based ABA therapy personalized to each child’s unique needs, strengths, and interests. The new Manchester center builds on that experience while creating additional opportunities to collaborate with local healthcare professionals, educators, and referring providers to connect families with services. 

“We’re excited to welcome families to our new Manchester Learning Center and, importantly, to be able to offer immediate availability as we prepare to open our doors,” said Meghan Van Nostrand, Ph.D., LABA, BCBA-D, Senior Regional Clinical Director. “For families who are looking for ABA therapy for their child, this is an opportunity to get started without joining a waitlist. Our team is ready to help families navigate the enrollment process and prepare for their child’s start.” 

The Manchester Learning Center will offer families: 

  • Immediate openings and no waitlist for eligible children 
  • Enrollment now underway for the center’s November opening 
  • Acceptance of most major insurance plans, including Optum/UnitedHealthcare, as well as Medicaid 
  • Center-based ABA therapy for children ages 2-6 with autism 
  • Flexible treatment hours designed to accommodate family schedules 
  • Individualized, evidence-based ABA therapy with one-on-one support 
  • A learning-rich environment with play-based spaces and an indoor gross motor area supporting physical and social development 
  • Convenient access near I-293 for families throughout greater Manchester and surrounding communities 
  • An experienced clinical leadership team with a long history of supporting children and families with autism 

Manchester’s Center Director, Aimee Morrison, brings over 10 years of experience with BCI. The senior leadership team includes Dr. Van Nostrand; Senior Regional Directors Tiffany Zayas, MS, BCBA, LABA, and Katie Corey, MS, BCBA, LABA; and Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, Ashley Williams, Ph.D., LABA, BCBA-D. Each member of the senior leadership team brings at least 16 years of experience with BCI. 

“Starting ABA therapy is an important step for a family, and we want parents to know that they don’t have to wait to begin that conversation with us,” Dr. Van Nostrand said. “Our Manchester team is ready to meet families, learn about their child, and help determine how we can best support their goals. We look forward to becoming part of the Manchester community and helping every child in our care build skills for success in school and life.”

WEAP welcomes Rock County area families to their new location.

BELOIT, WI… Wisconsin Early Autism Project (WEAP), provider of LEARN Behavioral, officially opened the doors of its new Beloit Learning Center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on August 4, 2026.

Hosted by the Greater Beloit Chamber of Commerce, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at WEAP’s new location at 905 Henry Ave., Beloit, Wisconsin 53511. 

During the ceremony, Pam Travis of the Office of U.S. Senator Ron Johnson and Kari Swirth, President of the Greater Beloit Chamber of Commerce, shared greetings and remarks. Daniel Ortiz Hernandez, Beloit City Manager, and Dr. Leah Gordon-Malott, Superintendent of Beloit School District, also shared remarks. Members of the Greater Beloit Chamber of Commerce and other guests were in attendance.

Ribbon-cutting attendees were able to tour the facility, enjoy light refreshments, and meet WEAP’s leadership team: Amy Goike, BCBA, LBA, Center Director; Christine Laurent, BCBA, LBA, Regional Clinical Director; and Erin Seiler, BCBA, LBA, Associate Regional Director.

“WEAP is excited to bring compassionate, high-quality ABA therapy to families in the greater Beloit area,” said Amy Goike, Center Director. “We tailor our services to each child and family, providing engaging, evidence-based care in an environment designed to help

children build skills, confidence, and independence. We’re honored to be part of the Beloit community.”

WEAP, celebrating its 30th anniversary, has become a world-renowned leader in the early diagnosis and treatment of autism in children. Their evidence-based approach to care has helped thousands of children with autism throughout Wisconsin. 

“WEAP is a place where children can gain essential skills—and where their journey toward success in school and life begins,” said Christine Laurent, Regional Clinical Director.

WEAP is Wisconsin’s premiere contemporary applied behavior analysis (ABA) provider of center-based autism services for children ages 18 months to 6 years old. The new Beloit Learning Center provides center-based ABA therapy, Social Skills Programs, parent education, Early Intervention, and weekend services. Outside the center, the Beloit team offers ABA support in the daycare and community settings.

With no waitlist and flexible treatment hours to accommodate busy family schedules, the Beloit Learning Center is now enrolling new clients in Rock County and beyond. The center is conveniently located and easily accessible via US Route 51 and public transportation for families in the region.
